Israel Must Open Gaza Borders
Time has Run Out For Israel (Part 14)

Tel-Aviv has firmly held the lands forcifully stolen from Palestinians by unleasing genocides. Israel's settlements have been a much-criticized enterprise throughout the decades and a major obstacle to peacemaking with the Palestinians. Some 300,000 Jews live in West Bank settlements and an additional 180,000 live in Jewish neighborhoods in east Jerusalem. Israel captured both territories from Jordan in the 1967 Mideast war, along with the Gaza Strip. The Palestinians envision all three areas for a future state. Twenty-one percent of the land for these settlements was seized from Palestinian landowners, much of it after Israel's Supreme Court outlawed the practice in 1979. The actual buildings of the settlements, their jurisdiction and regional councils cover more than 42 percent of the West Bank's land area. Israeli groups admit the extensive geographic-spatial changes that Israel has made in the landscape of the West Bank undermine the negotiations that Israel has conducted for 18 years with the Palestinians and breach its international obligations.

The anti-Islamic world led by USA-UK combine has boycotted Gaza intentionally to pressurise the government to hand over power to pro-West Fatah party led by M. Abbas. EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton has said Israel must go beyond easing its blockade of Gaza and throw open its long-closed border. Lady Ashton the most senior Western official to go to Gaza since Israel partly eased curbs on goods entering the territory, urged the international community to pressure Israel to end the blockade. Her three-day visit to the region comes as peace envoy George Mitchell holds further talks between Israel and West Bank Palestinians in an attempt to restart direct negotiations.

Catherine Ashton visited UN facilities and spoke to local businessmen in Gaza. She made it clear that the position of the European Union is very clear: that we want the opportunity for people to be able to move around freely or to see goods, not only coming into Gaza but exports coming out of Gaza. "And that is the position that we will be discussing with the Israeli government, as well as of course making sure that we're putting the right kind of pressure out to the international community." The questionis will this kind of requests work with the Zionist fascist regime?

The problem is the western powers have aided with arms and aids to make Israel a strong terror military power in Mideast. As the Zionist fascism goes on rampage every now and then aiming to destory Palestine as its blockades create perpetual downfall of the nation and government there, there is a serious humanitarian crisis in Gaza as its defenceless people feel threatened, terrorized and suffocated by the terror siege and genocides of the Zionist terror regime. Israel is keen make Palestine weak so that it could terror attack the innocent civilians and kill them as part of its grand holocaust strategy to confiscate their lands for the Zionist regime. For this reason, Israel tries to make sure that no weapons and no ammunition get to the Hamas government. Israel wants weaponry from USA, UK and west and it sells them to the Third word, including India- another “innocent” country in Asia.

Now a bold Israel, almost permanently, has forcefully occupied Palestine and now even owns Palestine and has converted the innocent Palestinians into cattle of slaves. This is the outcome of the destrucitve polcies purused by USA and its terror allies. By murdering Palestinins routinely, Israel further tightened its blockade in 2007 after the Islamist Hamas party won the poll and, against the wishes of Fatah and Israel that sought to dislodge the government and initiated a civil war within to destroy Palestine, seized control of Gaza. Elected Hamas authority is not recognised by the EU, Israel or the US, who describe it as a terrorist organisation.
Israel came under heavy international pressure, including from Obama and other top U.S. officials, to loosen its 3-year-old land and naval blockade of the seaside territory following Israel's deadly May 31 military raid on a flotilla trying to break the embargo. At the time, Obama said the situation was "unsustainable." He called for a narrow blockade to bar weapons that Gaza's Hamas rulers could use against Israel while admitting items the territory's 1.5 million Palestinians need for daily living and economic development.

Under severe international pressure for the first time, following global outcry over Zionist blockades of Palestine, Israel says it has now relaxed blockades. Under the new measures, materials such as steel, cement, certain fertilisers and chemicals will be allowed in for Palestinian Authority-approved projects that are under the supervision and for the use of the UN or other international agencies. Aid agencies say building materials are badly needed in Gaza as the blockade has prevented much reconstruction taking place since Israel's devastating 22-day military offensive, which ended in January 2009. The UN says it is only getting a fraction of the construction materials it needs. Palestinians are anot allowed to constuct, they get nothing as cosntruction materials. Exports are not permitted, making it hard for the enclave's devastated economy to pick up. The blacklist includes so-called "dual-use" items that could be used to manufacture weapons and explosives, such as ball bearings and fireworks. More Israeli food products have been available in Gaza's shops. Food products and other goods form other countries are still not allowed in to Palestine.
However, to disprove Israeli cliams, the Israeli naval blockade remains in place, come what may. The sea blockade will also remain and, most importantly for many Gazans, the restrictions on the movement of people remain. One important message from the aidship terror is that neither Israel not the UN nor the USA-UK is interested in any serious enquiry about Israeli fascist attack on aid ships. They just play dirty gestures to fool the Islamic world. As a terror ally of US-UK led NATO syndicates, fascist Israel has resisted calls for an UN-led inquiry into the raid, saying it would be biased and Israeli enquiry can favour the Zionist terrorism. Israel says it is necessary to keep Paleslitne weak and to stop weapons from reaching the Palestine government in Gaza. Israel views only its security is important while it rejects security for Palestinians.

Yet, it is extremely difficult for Palestinians to get Israeli permission to leave Gaza even for medial reasons. Recently, following international outcry over Gaza blockades, Israel has confirmed details of what goods it will allow to enter the Gaza Strip with the easing of its blockade. Consumer goods are being allowed but a "blacklist" of items including weapons and materials that could have a military use will be barred. So-called “democratic” Israel occupies Palestine and dictates terms to the inhabitants there and the illegal settlers keep pushing hard to proliferate the illegal settlements in the occupied territories. Blockades are used as the top most colonial tool to crush the Palestinians.
The crude fact is every Zionist leader of past and present strongly believed that only a continuing state of conflict within and with Palestinians and Arabs –without which they are afraid that western sympathy and aid would evaporate quickly—could assure the survival of their Jewish homeland Israel. Every Israeli leader since 1948 has remained true to that conviction and made no genuine move to seek an honorable peace with Palestinians. Israel is a nation that believes its survival can only be ensured by weapons and bombs and denying same to its neighbors.
Fascist Israel must open Gaza borders and let the Palestinians live free on their own lands.

Anti-Muslimism and anti-Islamism are as dangerous as "terrorism". Terrorism is caused by anti-Islamic forces. Truth does not require political or ideological correctness, not even selectively. Muslims supporting anti-Islamism are as much criminals as the global anti-Muslims are. Anti-Islamic forces & terrorists are using criminal elements for terrorizing the world and they are harming genuine interests of ordinary Muslims. We have many hypocrites among Muslims.
